Music streaming has increased 90% from 2014 (During only the first half of 2015, 135 billion tracks have been streamed. In 2014, the number for the whole year was 164 billion)

As many as 61% of music listeners report that they discover most new music through good old fashioned radio

For teenagers, radio isn’t that important - the best source to find new music is family and friends

These numbers speak to the tremendous importance of music in everyday life, and of the ways in which listening habits change as technology advances. The increase in mobile listening means that music is increasingly with us as we are on the move, and present in contexts where it could not be before. This opens up exciting new areas and possibilities for research: the complexity of music listening contexts and preferences, their interaction, as well as its effects on human physiology, psychology and well-being.
